Telltale Layoffs

Speaking of Telltale,
Polygon has the unfortunate news that the studio is laying off 90 staff,
approximately 25% of its workforce. They have an official statement covering the
news:

In a statement, Telltale said the decision to lay off staff is
design to make the company “more competitive as a developer and publisher of
groundbreaking story-driven gaming experiences with an emphasis on high quality
in the years ahead.”

“Our industry has shifted in tremendous ways over the past few years,” Telltale
Games CEO Pete Hawley said in a statement. “The realities of the environment we
face moving forward demand we evolve, as well, reorienting our organization with
a focus on delivering fewer, better games with a smaller team.”

The restructuring is “not expected to impact the release of any of the company’s
previously announced projects,” Telltale said.
